First Floor Front Hall

As you may know, we're working hard on our old house to make it look...well...still old, more shiny and amazing. Take a look at the photos from our latest restoration project! I'll have finished photos on here next week, but we've been working hard on the 1st and 2nd floor grand halls and I couldn't wait to show off what's been done!

These rooms were wallpapered in all original photographs we have, so unfortunately, financially we were unable to restore them to their exact appearance. We were however able to check colors based on what was common in other historic homes dated to the same period and came up with some rather spiffy colors!

Take a look:
